Ebook Growth and Inequality: Evidence from Transitional Economies

Submitted by puput on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 02:44

The relationship between income inequality and economic growth has received much attention in the economic literature. The impact of economic development on income inequality, however, remains ambiguous. Even if found to be significant in the univariate regressions of income inequality on economic development, the parameter estimate on aggregate income, a proxy for the level of development, loses its strength and can even reverse sign when other explanatory factors or country-specific dummies are introduced (Deininger and Squire, 1998).

However, a common trait of the previous studies linking income inequality and economic growth is that they concentrated primarily on what happens to income distribution during the process of development, that is of rising per capita income. In contrast, the countries of Eastern Europe (EE) and the former Soviet Union (FSU) witnessed a sharp contraction in output during the initial stage of the transition. Another pronounced feature of the transition has been a marked increase in income inequality, though, not at a uniform rate across the region. In many transitional economies inequality has reached a level comparable to that seen in highly unequal countries of Asia and Latin America.

Screen shot Ebook Heart Attack: A Guide To Your Recovery

Having a heart attack is quite common. How each person deals with it and what their recovery is like varies a great deal for many reasons. Many people experience some difficulty concentrating and retaining information in the early stages of having a heart attack, so don’t worry if you can’t take everything in. This is why it is important to have some written information to remind yourself and your family about what is likely to happen and why.

Ebook Financing Shortfalls and the Value of Aggregate Liquidity

Submitted by puput on Sat, 01/23/2010 - 04:23

Liquid assets yield low returns, and tend to have higher prices and therefore lower expected returns when aggregate conditions are poor. We construct a model of the level and dynamics of the value of aggregate liquidity induced by firms’ financing shortfalls. Liquid assets are defined to be those which can be quickly reallocated at a low cost. In our model, liquidity and cash flows constitute internal funds available for investment in an economy where external funds are costly. The liquidity premium is then measured as the premium on funds which can be costlessly used for immediate investment. The use of liquidity to hedge investment opportunities can generate sizeable liquidity premia with the empirically observed cyclical properties. The model generates liquidity accumulation even if the expected return on liquid assets is much lower than that on real capital, and delivers a liquidity premium which is substantially countercyclical.

A lack of coincidence between sources and uses of funds is needed to generate corporate demand for liquid assets. The occurrence of such a lack of coincidence is not a foregone conclusion; in standard models the main use of funds (investment) is highly correlated with the main source of funds (cash flows). We construct a model where we break this strong correlation by introducing corporate finance frictions between the corporate and consumer sectors. Firms use funds to make discretionary and non-discretionary payments to investors, and to invest in productive investment opportunities. Likewise, firms have two sources of funds, internal funds, and new funds from consumers. Internal funds are the sum of current cash flow less committed payouts and the firm’s stock of liquid savings. Since raising external finance is costly, the value of liquidity is high when investment opportunities and available internal funds do not coincide. When such a mismatch occurs, the value of liquid assets inside the corporate sector where investment opportunities arise exceeds their intrinsic value. Liquid assets bear a convenience yield because they are fungible and this convenience yield varies with firms’ financing shortfalls. We study the resulting process for the value of liquid assets, and their expected return, and relate this value to measures of firms’ financing shortfalls.
